Q 1 (Mark 2) Label where each of the following electrical quantities would be found in
both the "Y" and "Delta" three-phase configurations:
Phase voltage
Line voltage
Phase current
Line current

In which circuit (Y or Delta) are

the phase and line currents
equal? In which circuit (Y or
Delta) are the phase and line
voltages equal? Explain both
answers, in terms that
anyone with a basic knowledge of electricity could understand. Where phase and line
quantities are unequal, determine which is larger.

Answer:

Q 2 (Mark 3) Explain the difference between a balanced polyphase system and an unbalanced
polyphase system. What conditions typically cause a polyphase system to become unbalanced?

Answer:

Q 3 (Marks 1) In a balanced Y-connected power system, calculate the phase voltage

(Ephase) if the line voltage (Eline) is 480 volts.
Answer:
Ephase = _______________

Q 4 (Marks 4) What is the phase sequence of each of the following sets of voltages?
v a = 208 cos  ωt + 27° V
a)
vb = 208 cos  ωt + 147° V
v C = 208 cos  ωt - 93° V

v a = 4160cos  ωt - 18° V
b)
vb = 4160cos  ωt - 138° V
v C = 4160cos  ωt +102° V

Solution:
